Shower tray repair in Colney Heath

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Shower tray repair in Colney Heath without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, in stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Colney Heath

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Colney Heath: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Colney Heath?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
